Nothing Is Impossible: The Real-Life Adventures of a Street Magician (38 page)

Performing a suspension on a park bench in Rio.

Not everything I do is for the faint-hearted.

Flying over the crowd to make my way out of a club.

Hands on fire. Don’t try this at home!

Standing in the middle of the River Thames.

In Rio with the favela kids.

Matt Lucas looking terrified as I levitate him.

Levitating myself at Christ the Redeemer.

Another phone, another bottle.

Phillip Schofield trying his hardest to lift me after I’d taken his strength away.
